*° The English learned the use of hops from some native of 

 Artois in the beginning of the sixteenth century ; but for a long 

 time after that, the addition of them to beer was held to be an 

 adulteration of that liquor. A pillow filled with hops is reported 

 to produce comfortable repose in cases where opiates have failed. 

 The bine or straw of hops contains an excellent hemp for making 

 cloth, canvass, ropes, and the very best materials for the manu- 

 facture of all kinds of paper.
